Abstract

ABSTRACT The increasing number of clients with multicultural backgrounds pose a challenge for a mental health field that has mostly addressed the psychological needs of culturally diverse clients in a monolithic and linear fashion. In addition, the body’s role in identity development and expression has not been fully integrated in either the theory or practice of counselling. This article addresses these gaps by advocating for a somatic psychotherapy process of identity exploration and negotiation of individuals with multiple cultural backgrounds. This process is meant to support not only more congruent hybrid identities, but also transform the vulnerabilities of this population in increased resiliency and strength. A composite case is used to illustrate this clinical approach.

越来越多的客户具有多元文化背景，这对心理健康领域提出了挑战，心理健康领域主要以单一和线性的方式解决多元文化客户的心理需求。此外，身体在身份发展和表达方面的作用在咨询的理论和实践中都没有得到充分的整合。本文通过倡导具有多元文化背景的个体的身份探索和协商的躯体心理治疗过程来解决这些差距。这一过程不仅是为了支持更一致的混合身份，而且还为了改变这一群体的脆弱性，增强其弹性和力量。用一个复合病例来说明这种临床方法。
